I am so pleased to share photos of Sara with you today. I have taken some "in the works" photos of her so you can see her body and undies. She is a most impressive size, 24" tall. She stands and sits well. She is a very large doll for sure. Her head is about the size of an orange. I have posted lots of photos of her in hopes that you can see her wonderful patina etc. Sara has beautiful antique black glass eyes and tiny dotted eyebrows. Her arms are cloth jointed at the elbows and she has upper wooden arms. You will see a photo of her hip area and fully jointed legs as well.
She is dressed in Antique fabrics for her gown, petticoat and silk shoes. I love her shabby antique ribbon at her neck but if you do not, she can have some beads to replace it. The lace that I used for her cap is early 18th century and so wonderful!
I hope you enjoy seeing Sara. If you have any questions or would like more photos of her just let me know. toysintheattic@sympatico.ca

Hi Kathy, Sara arrived safe and sound! She is beautiful - she just takes my
breath away! I can't quite find the words to describe how wonderful she is, and
how happy I am to have such an amazing doll! She truly looks old - the fabric
is amazing, her hair, her sweet face, everything about her is just perfection!
I'm thrilled beyond measure to be able to give her a good home! Thank you for
making such amazing, beautiful historic dolls!

I am pleased for you to meet sweet Bella. She is 11" tall and fully jointed. Bella is dressed in some very early fine cottons that are perfectly faded and have wonderful patina. She has tiny silk shoes and a hand made flat hat to complete her spring attire. Her patina is really quite amazing and it so much nicer in person.
Enjoy the photos!
Bella is SOLD.

A TRUE FAIRY TALE!
As promised I am posting the union of Lord Leopold and Lady Elizabeth................
As written buy their owner.

" It was LOVE at first sight. Lady Elizabeth took one look at Lord
Leopold. She knew then that they would spend the rest of their lives
together. Although neither spoke a word, they shared that same thought. The
handsome guest was invited to tea, but he would stay forever."

Dear
Kathy,He arrived at 7:26 p.m. In time for tea.LE and I are both in love.
LL is perfection. You were right he is much better in person. He is dressed
impeccably. Such fine fabric could only come from the best producers in the
world. Again thank you for making this wonderful doll for me. I am already
thinking about children. They will have to wait awhile. I don't want anyone to
think that LE is afast woman.Meanwhile, I will enjoy them both
tremendously.Have a great day,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~This doll was a custom order for a very patient lady. All of his clothing is removable and lined as requested. I just had to share some photos of him with you so you could see how much detail went into this doll. This week he will meet his Lady Elizabeth friend that I made a couple years ago. I am promised a photo of the two of them together and I shall share that photo as well.
Enjoy!
